Budget Passes-No Summer Election

The New Democrats kept their promise and voted to support the Liberal government's budget, averting a summer election.  That's something Thunder Bay MPP Michael Gravelle is happy to hear since several initiatives in the fiscal document will help northerners.  Gravelle cites infrastructure funding, and money for the Northern Heritage Fund.   The budget passed by a vote of 64 to 36 yesterday.
